Personality: Amie isn't shy in the sense. she just comes off that way. She tends to be quiet, but when she wants to talk, she'll do it. It's not that she isn't assertive, it's more along the lines of she doesn't see reasons to assert herself. Amie is extremely gentle, and has a very well controlled state of mind. She is trained to handle high stress situations well, making her a great multi-tasker. Strong minded and willed, but her body doesn't live up to that, which is why she is overly underestimated. She thinks hard about things, and is extremely observant, seeing things many tend to overlook.
Amie will feel extremely guilt over the death of a fly, and it is extremely difficult to inflict harm against another human being, even if they were attacking herself. It's just the way she was raised, compared to her morals and outlooks on people. She has hope for all mankind, even what people would consider the worst.
Pros; Kind, gentle, soft spoken, non judgmental, strong willed, intelligent.
Cons; Weak in strength, non offensive battle strategy's, not ambitious. Cannot retain anger for long periods of time.
Theme Song(s):
Physical Description: Amie has a small build, being honest. Her brown hair is short, just reaching down her neck to her collar. It is feathery. Amie's eyes hold a cheerful and gentle expression 99 percent of the time. Those eyes are a shimmery umber. Her skin is a sleek pinkish shade, and very soft. Her shinigami robe cuts off at short sleeves, and her waist sash is yellow. Underneath her robes is a a yellow shirt to match. Finally, her hair ordains a purple bow.
Zanpakuto Name and Sealed Description: Your standard Katana, with a purple hilt, and golden ribbon protruding from said Hilt. It's slimmer then normal, but rests at her back. The blade itself has a crimson shine when it reflects light.
Jakuon; [Soft Sound] Jakuon is fiery shaded kitten, with red eyes. The tips of it's paws, ears, and tail are a purple shade, while it's pelt looks like flames. It is a very delicate animal, with a soothing voice. It is playful, but immensely wise.
Zanpaku-to Sword Type: Defensive
Zanpaku-to Element: Fire
Shikai: Achieved
"Enlighten, Jakuon!"
Amie's Shikai is a safety blanket, in all seriousness. The sword itself melts away, shifting to a soft purple blanket. This blanket has Three skills. The blanket is red with purple curvy line designs.
Protection: You name it, that blanket it immune to it. Fire proof, water proof, weather safety. Even sharp blades can't cut through, and powerful impacts seem to just bounce off. It can be wielded as a shield, or used as a bunker to hide under. every seam and threat of the fabric is infused with her own Reitsu, which seems to have a highly sturdy and defensive pressure. When the Reitsu runs out or Falters, so does the defense.
Enlargement The blanket's beginning release is above the size of her own Torso. Not that big. However, the blanket's size is able to increase. This function is to used fit others under, or to create a tent for healing procedures to take place with some sense of security.
Reflection This is the last and only slightly offensive skill of the blanket. When Amie channels enough Reitsu into the blanket, it can reverse a move using Kinetic energy. For example, if an enemy slammed a fist or sword head onto the blanket, the power would backlash the attacker. For every action, there is an equal re-action, roughly goes the quote. With the energy having no place to go from Amie's barrier, it has no choice but to fly backward. the stronger the attack, the stronger the backlash. Respectively, weak attacks give weak reflections. This attack does not work with Kido.
Bankai: Achieved
Amie raps the blanket around herself and ushers the release command; "Bankai!" the blanket is no longer that, but a faded purple hooded cloak. It has white feathery designs on it, and there isn't anything menacing about it at all. It reaches down to her ankles perfectly, just touching the ground. The cloak maintains it's ability to deflect damage, more compactly now that it covers her body. A sort of 'perfect' and I use the term loosely, armor. I say this, because it works like a Chinese finger trap. The harder you strike at, the harder it will resist and repel. But when a very gentle hand goes to work, the trap is released. That's the basic concept of the cloak. Only a thin strip around the neck keeps the cloak in place. If an enemy where to carefully remove the strap, or give a gentle tug to the cloak, it would come clean off. It cannot change size or backlash attacks anymore, and remains unable to be offensive. However, it does gain one cool new trick.
Incapacitation. Whenever the cloak is struck by an outside force of any kind, it causes a sort of reaction. Where the blanket is hit, it gives of a purple dust in a small burst. This dust lingers in the air, even if it's color dissolves. This dust is not lethal, painful, or destructive in any way. Amie calls it, 'Dream Dust' For it causes drowsiness, and over all, sleep.
Different doses have different effects. Obviously, higher concentration causes more noticeable effects. If the dust touches just small patches of the skin, that limb or body part will relax it's muscles. It's actually a pleasant sensation, but during a fight, it's not entirely good for your arm to get heavy when you need to swing it about. If inhaled, it will interfere with the sense of sight and touch, creating a dream like state. If only a tiny bit is breathed in, nothing more then slight drowsiness will occur. But if one sucks in a whole breath, it's like trying to go on after working a 24 hour work shift.
The effects do not happen immediately, but gradually, it builds. Will power affects how long it takes for an enemy to be overwhelmed. To resist the call of a very promising sleep.
Pain nullify The Dust has a medical plus, as well. By twisting the edge of the cloak, it can also emit the purplish powder. So Amie can use it at will. When placed on wounds, or a wounded body, the sleep effect numb the body, eliminating all kinds of pain. If a patient is under high stress, it relaxes. But the patient will eventually fall asleep, there is no evasion to that factor.
Last Resort; Phantom Hold If a situation comes into full throttle, and there are hardly no options left, there is one last move the cloak offers. Amie is unable to bring herself to deal full bodily damage on another human being, so incapacitation is the next big thing. Amie influences the cloak on her target, and ushers the command. The cloak dissolves into hundreds of grains of dust, and rushes at the said target. It's "phantom" or semi permeable grasp tries to engulf the enemy, or wrap around them, attempting to force them to touch the dust or breath it in. Doing such leaves Amie defenseless, which is why it is a last resort. The dust will continue to follow the target until they are either unconscious, she stops willing the sand to follow, or she herself becomes incapacitated. If the move is a complete failure, she sand can bunch back together, and return to the form of the cloak.

Bio:
Amie was named after her mother, the kind spirited 13th Squad Vice Captain. She was born to the eccentrically loving arms of Amie Ann Koigokoro, and Fefnir Kamashiro Shihouin, the Ninth squad captain. After being married for seven or eight years, it was just but about time they had a child. A baby girl, who was all but identical to her mother. Which is ultimately why Fefnir called her that, out of admiration for her mother. Although her full name was Amie, they ended up calling her Ay-chan. [Long A] New parents always seem to come up with nicknames for their kids, and they liked the sound of it.
Amie and Fefnir's relationship was a sound one, about as romantic as they came. Being the Squad nine captain, however, it was hard for him to get time, so it was Amie who spent the most time with Ay-chan when she was little. Yuki, the squad 13 captain, gave Amie some wiggle room. A busy but happy little family they were, enjoying everything life had to offer. Fefnir's time off was spent wisely, him playing with his baby girl, while Amie graciously took some time to get work done. When everything was settled, time could be sent in a multitude of places. From times as simple as sitting around a table with a board game, [Although Ay-chan, being two, found more interest in playing with Fefnir's long hair] they made the best of everything. Ay-chan seemed either attached to Amie by the hip, or Fefnir from the back, and loved to snuggle in her father's captain cloak. It was so funny to see her running about, pretending to be a captain, using a broom to simulate her mother's giant hammer. Amie stopped letting her use a broom when she golf swung dinner one night into the wall.
Ay-chan, being only four years old, wanted to be just like her parents in any way she could. However, she was oblivious to the slow chaos that was leeching her father. Amie did her best for her lover, helping in any way she could, but the distress in his eye never faded. It was eating Amie from the inside out. Ay-chan was given to Yomiko to spend the day, when Fefnir's friends and family tried to help him in any way they could. This was the day he challenged his inner hollow. Fefnir won...yes, this is true, but at the cost of killing everyone around him. His vice captain, his teacher, his friends...and his lover, Amie.
Fefnir was a Vizard at this point, and if that wasn't reason enough, he was filled with grief for the murders he had unintentionally committed. He had no choice but to leave. Amie was only four at the time, and left with only one guardian, her adopted grandmother, Yomiko. The Fefnir case was something highly classified, only the captains at the time knew about it. Yomiko couldn't bear tell Amie the truth, even at an older age. And so, she did what any parent did to protect a child; She lied. She told a story about how a Heroic man and woman, who gave their lives to stop a Vizard from attacking the Soul Society. Amie doesn't have any pictures of her father, for Yomiko was slightly paranoid, but she has one of her mother, which is framed on her desk in squad four.
Yomiko raised her with loving and exuberant grace, for a few decades. But it wasn't exactly easy to tell a four year old that they where never going to see their parents again. She had overheard that a lot of people had died the day before, but didn't quite understand. She was a sad little girl for the next few years. Perhaps from a combination of the depression and outside sources, Amie came down with an fierce illness. Being so young, it nearly killed her. She was lucky to make it out. The after effect was a sort of stunt to her strength. Being surrounded by the Shinigami world, Yomiko was the second Squad captain, and stories of her parents, of course she wanted to become a Shinagami. She wouldn't hear no. So despite the hardships, she fought on. She was optimistic. Amie was going to make things better. When she was fourteen or fifteen, she understood, or thought she understood, the sacrifice of her parents. Amie never found out the true story. She spent a few years, until she was in her early twenties, training up her weak stamina with Yomiko, she she could be accepted into the training academy.
Combat was a hassle. Of course it was. Amie was constantly at war with her bodies inability to do what she wanted it to do. However, she possessed an amazing mind and incredibly non hostile reitsu. She was recommended for squad four. It made sense, being a non combat squad. Yomiko gave her the push, she was always there for her, as she applied to medical school. Her studies went well, graduating from top of the class with her best friend, Mabushii. Most in squad four had some kind of combat ability. An offensive shikai, something. Amie didn't have anything. Sure, she could throw a mean left hook. But her sword had to fight in it. Teasing was something she acquired from other students on a regular basis. Mabushi was securely gay, and many didn't see anything like that before. So he received his fair share of mean as well. the two seemed to lean on each other throughout school. He was one of her first friends.
Years seemed to pass like warm summer days. Life was good. Amie and Mabushii were graciously accepted into squad four. Being surrounded by people who knew what it was like, the teasing stopped. A glorious erra. The two where determined young shinagami. They climbed the ranks, but not ambitiously. They only went up in rank when a position needed to be filled, never questioning the authority. Amie became captain when the previous stepped down, and Mabushi fulfilled the empty Vice Captain's seat. The two trusted in each other for a lot of things. Hospital work, leisure time, dating advice. Mabushii had taken quite a few hits. He always got so involved. Amie herself really never tapped into the area, to shy to "go looking" with Mabushii.
